Debenhams knocks 50% off perfumes in Black Friday sale
by Branwen Jones · Wales OnlineMarc Jacobs' "enticing" perfume which shoppers have raved about has now been slashed by 60% as part of Debenhams' Black Friday sale taking place throughout November. The Marc Jacobs Honey Eau de Parfum 100ml has now been reduced from £99 to £39.60.
The Honey Eau de Parfum is scented with green pear, mandarin, and orange blossom, as well as a touch of honeysuckle, pear, honey, and vanilla. The perfume is also advertised as being "sunny enticing floral – happy and energetic, with a touch of the unexpected". It comes in a clear bottle, which reveals the golden hue of the fragrance, with a polka dot yellow top and a black and gold butterfly with a shimmering pearl at its centre.
Shoppers have also been sharing their thoughts on the perfume and have been raving about the popular scent, which has received a 4.5 rating on Debenhams. One reviewer said: "Perfect smell. It comes in absolute gorgeous bottle." Another person said: "Perfect day time perfume, hard to find so glad Debenhams have it".
However one reviewer said that the perfume was "too basic" and that the scent didn't last very long. They said: "It doesn’t last and you’ll only smell it (barely) after you spray it and that's it. Won’t help you much if you’re a busy person and require a classy long-lasting scent. It has some notes of citrus but just too basic."
Shoppers can also get their hands on Marc Jacobs Dot Eau De Parfum For Her, which has knocked off 56% from the original price. With the Black Friday sale, Dot Eau de Parfum For Her 50ml has been reduced from £99 to £44. This fragrance, which is a blend of red berries, succulent dragonfruit, and sweet honeysuckle, also comes in a clear bottle with a red and black polka dot top as well as a black and red butterfly with a shimmering pearl at its centre similar to the Honey Eau de Parfum.
The Dot Eau De Parfum For Her has been receiving rave reviews on Debenhams with a rating of 4.7 and around 288 reviews. One person said: "Wow! This is a total game-changer! I've been wanting something like this for a while, and I'm so happy I finally found it! The quality is amazing".
Another was also happy with their purchase and said: "This is a light fragrance that is fresh and floral. I like to wear daily on summer days and get lots of compliments from co-workers and friends. The bottle is beautiful and can be used as an ornament as well as a fragrance."
But not everyone was happy with their purchase with one shopper claiming the scent didn't last very long. They said: "This perfume is a nice red berry floral but does not last long on the skin. I get two hours at most and it's a bit sneeze-inducing. It has a pleasant smell and I would recommend it for those who like florals."
Overall most of the reviews were positive about the perfume. One person who gave it five stars said: "Fun scent everyday scent. It's fruity does not smell like vanilla or anything childish but still youthful. The packaging is very cute and inspired by a ladybug. Reasonable price. And most importantly lasts all day!".
